I thought it would, but I tried and it doesn't :-( - sorry again.

It would work when copying the files individually, but for some reason (maybe a
bug in cp) this fails when copying recoursively.

cp -a symlink target
-> target will be a symlink as well
cp    symlink target
-> target will be a regular file
cp -r symlink target
-> target will be a symlink again.

But what works it to specify -L (--dereference) 

"cp -uaL" (order is important) or "cp -upRL" will work (I tried :-)

/cloph who hates localized man-pages that don't list all options
